Will there be further research on that? ]]>By: Soniahttp://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-26721 SoniaTue, 10 Feb 2015 22:02:43 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-26721This is a great tool for those who are at a loss as to where to turn next. Do you have plans to do more research for slaves who were sent to the Caribbean? ]]>By: Eva S.http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-25065 Eva S.Mon, 05 Jan 2015 04:03:47 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-25065Very interesting article. Will you be able to do more detailed work for Native Americans, too, sometime in the future? I have a relative that has been told that he has Native American in his blood, but your estimation will be too general to really pinpoint whether it is North American or South America. It seems there should be a way to be more specific in regard to Native American heritage, and I hope you will some day consider this as your next project. ]]>By: Francesca Abbeyhttp://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-25011 Francesca AbbeySat, 03 Jan 2015 23:55:38 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-25011My great grandmother Lila told me the story of our heritage so many times that it stayed on my mind all these years. What she also told me was that her African mother was a princess in Dahomey. So I had to find out who was king in Dahomey at the time her mother was a little girl. She had to be the daughter of either Ahosu Ghezo, (king is Ahosu in the Fon language) who was king of Dahomey from 1818 to 1858 or Ahosu Glele, who was king of Dahomey from 1858 to 1889. I’m figuring the young girl might have been born around 1856, give or take a few years. ]]>By: Sam Jhttp://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-23311 Sam JMon, 24 Nov 2014 18:58:51 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-23311So If you all ready taken the DNA test will they go back to add the new info to you chart? if so I can not wate to mines. ]]>By: Annemiekehttp://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-19110 AnnemiekeThu, 31 Jul 2014 12:53:05 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-19110In the results is South Mali the region were my ancestor came from.

Are the results dealing with Ghana/ Ivory Coast related mainly to Akan tribes/peoples? Would it be possible to tell the self proclaimed ethnicity of the Individuals tested? ]]>By: Jasminehttp://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-17461 JasmineFri, 30 May 2014 13:12:51 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-17461As more research becomes available, will existing DNA results be updated to match the new data? ]]>By: jordan sc-1http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/ancestrydna-makes-scientific-breakthrough-in-west-african-ethnicity/#comment-16108 jordan sc-1Fri, 09 May 2014 01:12:15 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/?p=1130#comment-16108thanks for share! ]]>
